Artist Statement
My wall-based fiber works explore architecture, boundaries, and borders through the juxtaposition of architectural fragments and fiber-based adornment. Pieces of the built environment and remnants of domestic interiors become armatures for weaving, knotting, and embellishment with rope, cord, and other textile materials. These interdependent knotted topographies allude to both structure and malleability while also recognizing and elevating aspects of human culture that are neglected, overlooked, or discarded.
